This one has its bits and bobs intact, and is in very good condition. You can read about that on Matt Stohrer’s website, or watch his repairman’s overview of the 26M on Youtube. The ‘permadjust’ system is the big development on the Connqueror altos. It is a pre-war 6M body tube and neck, with all new keywork design, extra engraving, and solid silver on all the key touches that are not pearl. The Connqueror is the most mechanically sophisticated saxophone that Conn ever made. This is a beautiful example of a rare Conn Connqueror 26M Alto saxophone with original lacquer and VIII stamp. Someone should make a case like this again. It comes in the the delightful original Lifton case with blue interior. It has had some small dents removed in the bell area and back of the bow, but that’s just par for the course with a vintage sax, and the work was done well.

But I guess, when you figure a new student Yamaha is over $2k, then this becomes a pretty good deal with good pads at this price for a pro vintage alto that is comparable to a Selmer.

Sometimes these get called a ‘poor man’s Mark VI’ but I’d prefer to think of them as a high-quality, professional mid-century French saxophone in their own right. It’s centered like a Selmer from the 50’s, and medium dark, but wider and very open throated. This horn is in on consignment, and has good pads, and plays well, with a big, operatic sort of voice. We spend a LOT of time and effort on that, and I hope that it shows in the quality of mouthpiece and the playing experience that you get.īuffet Super Dynaction Alto saxophone in original ‘sparkle’ lacquer. By using biocompatible dental resin and 3D printing for the complex, organic chamber and baffle shapes, we can keep improving and iterating the model until each one is perfect. One big advantage we have is that we make these entirely in house, so we can keep improving them until they are perfect. The baffle on each tip opening is placed just where Meyer would place it relative to the tip rail and chamber, so each one is a really good copy of the appropriate tip of Meyer Bros. So you get my favorite 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 facing that I’ve played so far, on whichever tip mouthpiece you request. If you try to make a replica mouthpiece and you don’t replicate a really excellent facing, you might as well not bother. The hand facing is a step that you can’t skip. That’s the main slow step in getting them to you, but I’m facing them as fast as I can while keeping the facing work perfect. There are lots of other great alto mouthpieces on the market, but to my knowledge nobody has actually successfully produced an exact copy of a Meyer Bros NY like this before, until now. The one we copied has just the right balance of warmth and projection to stand out as the one, holy grail, best-ever (in my opinion anyway) do-it-all alto mouthpiece that you need. I prefer the second, though we may offer the third version as a GS mouthpiece someday as well.

The last version has a fatter body again, and has MEDIUM on the same side as MeYeR and NEW YORK on the table side. Then this one that the GS NEW YORK copies, with NEW YORK on the same side as MeYeR and ‘medium chamber’ in small font on the table side. The first is a rather stubby, fat bodied one. If you’re not a vintage mouthpiece geek, you probably didn’t know that there are three different mouthpieces that are stamped Meyer Bros New York (not incuding the Tru-Flex or the NYUSA).

The response is clean, warm, and effortlessly free blowing, but centered and with an elusive extra magic to it – even compared to any other version of Meyer. Introducing the GS NEW YORK alto mouthpiece! This is an extremely precise copy of my favorite Meyer Bros New York alto piece from my collection of New York Meyer mouthpieces.Ī great New York Meyer just sparkles.
